I pass Yamaha jetboats everyday I am on the water and I bet you do too. I wave, occasionally honk, but it seems like I would be invading their space to just pull up next to them to say hi. I have been thinking about a way to share our knowledge base with those that have our boats, that don't necessarily know we are here. With that, I started thinking, "if I just had a way to throw something to them, it would beat shouting and confusion". That is when I thought about those little footballs that they used to throw to the crowd at college and pro football games a hundred years ago. So I started looking for those footballs and who printed them. I have found numerous places, not yet found a soft fabric covered nerf style but I have found the polyurethane nerf style. The benefit would be a ball with jetboaters.net logo that you could toss around, use for stress relief, throw for the dog or kids, but best of all, a logo delivery device! Just motor by a jetboater and wave, act like your going to get him to "go long", and throw the logo! They end up costing a couple of bucks each with setup, shipping, art, and the ball itself. I would keep 10 or 20 of these in hand and a few on the boat each outing, to toss when I saw another jetboater.
The downside would be mailing these one at a time, and that would cost more than the ball. So what I am thinking, is if we were interested at a minimum of maybe 10 balls each, about $25 to $30 including shipping to you. That would keep my trips to the post office down and allow us to do this. This is now a go! I am ordering a few extras but you better act fast if you want in on it, because you have to order 250 to get the pricing where I have it. Not likely we will get that many takers at once again, so the pricing will go up 15-20 cents per ball on smaller orders.
This is what they look like...
So the list is like others, post your name and count, along with color preference.
